A heavy, slanted display face built from sharp, brush-like strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show irregular, torn edges and spiky terminals, with occasional hooked entry/exit strokes that suggest fast, aggressive mark-making. Counters are generally compact and sometimes partially pinched by interior streaks, creating a textured, distressed color on the page. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, reinforcing an energetic, unstable rhythm while keeping the overall silhouette cohesive.
Best suited for titles, logos, and short promotional copy where impact matters more than smooth readability. It works well on posters, game and streaming key art, album/track artwork, event graphics, packaging accents, and social headers that need an ominous, energetic voice.
The font conveys a sinister, high-adrenaline mood—like scratched lettering on a horror poster or a warning scrawled in ink. Its jagged contours and stabbing terminals give it a tense, urgent tone suited to supernatural, thriller, and dark-fantasy aesthetics.
The design appears intended to emulate a distressed brush script with horror-inflected spikes and ragged cuts, delivering dramatic motion and tension in a single weight. Its variable letter widths and roughened contours prioritize atmosphere and immediacy over text-face regularity.
In longer lines the internal streaking and edge distress become a defining texture, so it reads best when the design can accommodate visual noise. Numerals match the same slashed, tapering treatment, keeping headings and short callouts stylistically consistent across letters and figures.
